Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Why the [removed] do swears show up as [removed]? (lemmy.ml)

I'm not hating on this by the way, in fact I think it's kinda funny!

Lemmy has hard coded censorship. It can be disabled via the code, but irrc not via config. It was a large source of criticism, even 3 years ago: https://linuxreviews.org/Lemmy

Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.

Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.

Edit 2: I think I've finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:

  1. If you're on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
  2. If you're on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
  3. If you're on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won't be censored

When I'm on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @[email protected] isn't censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.

I've just edited all of my scripts to point to my sh.itjust.works profile instead of lemmy.ml. Wish there was a way to migrate comments and posts over, but no biggie.

Has anyone made a multi-Lemmy yet? Where all of your posts and comments from all of your profiles can show up in one place?

(also, what's the formatting for double-spacing after a list?)

It's not Lemmy, but you could join us over on kbin!

I tried a few days ago, but every kbin instance I went to requires an email to sign up. Maybe I'll try again with a throwaway email.
